I know it's hard to plan meet-ups, but does anyone want to do anything next weekend (Nov 5-6)? I'm coming from Detroit for VeganMania and will be by myself. I'm happy to just eat my way across town, but it's always more fun to eat with other vegans!

Also, any suggestions for things to do that weekend? I've been to all the major attractions in Chicago, now I'm just looking for the random, non-publicized things to do.

And TheAmazonProject, I wish the Feist show was Saturday, then I would definitely go. I just can't quite justify an extra night in a hotel AND a concert ticket.

Lunch is awesome, after lunch I can do some shopping, which works out nice. I'm lazy, so if we did dinner I'd wait to go to the city just for dinner, and everything would be closed afterwards. So yes to lunch.

Well, I'm definitely going to VeganMania, and I'll be by myself, so I'd love to meet up with some PPKers there!

I'll be at VeganMania along with a small contingent of Milwaukeeans! I think we'll be getting there around 2, maybe 2:30 PM. Possible plans for dinner after the fest involve Native Foods, Handlebar, the Diner, or all of the above.

While I closely resemble a garden variety hipster (mousy, pale, freckled, bucktoothed, black-frame bespectacled, Queen Bee shoulder bag, Psychopathic Records tattoo, etc.) so I doubt I'll stick out in the crowd, on the off-chance you see me, say hi! I do so love meeting and subsequently high-fiving my fellow twig and berry-eaters.

Ah! I've been gone! Meetup this Sunday!? At Quesadilla? I'd like to go, but I have a rehearsal way up on Broadway until 2 (that *might* end early) and it would take me at least 15 minutes to get to Logan Square. So 2 or 2:30 would be good for me.

P.S. Does anyone want to take Krav Maga classes with me? I'm thinking about taking classes here: http://kravmagaillinois.com/ It's in Highland Park, but it has the best reviews and most frequent classes (making it easier to make it to the classes). I contacted them for pricing info but that was only this morning, so I don't know that yet.

(FYI, the price range is between $110 to $145 a month depending on what you go for. I believe they are both unlimited packages, but they have other classes besides Krav Maga, so maybe that's where it gets fuzzy. I finally got through on the phone, but didn't want to get too bothersome with having them explain, but there is a free trial if anyone would just like to do that with me!)
